TWC graduates were in hot demand, according to the 2015 graduate survey. Among the 184 respondents, close to 90% secured jobs or opted for continuing studies. The average monthly salary was HK$20,583, an increase of more than 10% over last year.

More than half of the graduates were engaged in employment within two months after graduation. Of the employed, most of them were hired in the Medical and Health Care sector (71.7%), followed by the Business sector (10.8%), and the remaining in the Community and Social Services and other sectors. The average monthly salary of Bachelor degree graduates was HK$22,803, while that of the associate degree graduates was HK$17,870.

Ms. Angel Yeung, Acting Head of Students Affairs Office said that the result demonstrated the strong competitiveness of our graduates, and reflected the success of our education which produced graduates who were well sought after by employers.

She continued, “We have more graduates this year, including those from the Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons), Bachelor of Social Science (Hons) and Bachelor of Health Science (Hons) programmes, which resulted in a rise in the number of graduates entering the workforce. We are glad to observe an increase in employment rate accompanied by an increment in average monthly salary. The career pathway of our graduates are also getting more diverse.”

In the 2016/2017 academic year, TWC will continue to offer comprehensive programmes in more diversified fields and nurture competent professionals for the market.
